Kill the bats, then check the corpse ahead for a Complete Map of the Vigoorian Underground. Continue into the room ahead to find a Save Point, but be aware that a fiend battle will follow shortly after - jump off the walls and use strong attacks to take them down easily.

With the enemies down, you'll have to wall-run up this entire shaft. Begin a wall run in either direction, then jump just before each corner to climb all the way to the top. Once there, go through the door.

Item: Life of the GodsOpen the chest behind the Save Point for this item.

Item: Jewel of the Demon SealAfter killing all 60 fiends, this item will appear at the top of the shaft.

Item: ArrowsCheck the corpse at the top of the shaft for some arrows.

Now use your maps to navigate back to the Aquaduct. To get there, follow the caves to the base of the StairStep Cavern, then take the tunnel along the west wall and follow to see a cutscene.

After the cutscene, wall-jump up the shaft ahead and continue through the door. Now work your way up several floors to Aquaduct 1. Once there, located the room with a Save Point and the ladder you used to first climb down here, and climb right back up!

It's good to be back in Dworku. Use your map to return to the drawbridge, lower it via the lever, then cross it to the other side where several purple Crypt Fiends await. Since they move slowly, stay behind them and work your combo magic. We also suggest decapitating them first with the Flying Swallow. Or if you want to make things really easy, use some Ninpo.

Item: Talisman of RebirthTake down all three crypt fiends to make this item appear.

Now use your map to return to Twin Serpents Square. Once there, look for the pedastol near the statue and insert all three tablets you've found. This will cause the serpent statue to become a teleportation point, warping you back to Hayabusa Village.

As you step out of the cave, Ryu will come across an item that he combines with his sword to create the True Dragon Blade. This powered-up sword is now yours to use for the remainder of the game. Now continue out of the graveyard and work your way to the other side of the village, by climbing the ladder inside the house and exiting out the window.

Item: Jewel of the Demon SealVisit the hut just up the hill from the four statues to find a Jewel of the Demon Seal.

After exiting the house, head left toward the stone circle to find another teleportation point.

Run to another teleport ahead to land back in the Lower Caverns 1. Step through the door then take the final teleportation point here. After warping, use the nearby Save Point, then run into the field ahead.

Boss: Alma

Despite her gnarly appearance, Alma's pretty weak. Since she's most vulnerable when on the ground, you'll want to really wail into her then. Now while she'll land by herself every now and then, you can use the Flying Swallow to knock her down at will.

Most of her attacks involve throwing debris or energy balls at you. Run around her and leap to dodge these. Also, if you get too close, she'll grab you with her tail-thing, so try to attack her from the rear.
